RIEGL is strengthening its presence in the German market with the establishment of the new RIEGL Deutschland (Germany) office. With headquarters located in Austria and USA, along with offices worldwide, this is just another logical step to meet the constantly growing demand for lidar technologies in applications for surveying, construction and the infrastructure segment.
RIEGL Deutschland Vertriebsgesellschaft mbH, based in Gilching near Munich, will focus primarily on terrestrial and UAV-based laser scanning as well as mobile mapping solutions, offering customers comprehensive service and support.
With the establishment of the new subsidiary, RIEGL can also ensure that all customers in Germany receive even more direct support in all matters relating to its technology.
Erwin Burth has been appointed managing director and will be responsible for business development in Germany together with Nikolaus Studnicka (technical director) and Bernhard Kurzbauer (commercial director). Erwin Burth has many years of experience in the surveying industry, including laser technologies and the associated software solutions.
The new DA62 MPP SurveyStar has been delivered by Diamond Aircraft Austria to RIEGL and it will be immediately implemented for test and calibration flights. RIEGL and Diamond Aircraft Austria have been collaborating for almost 20 years. Since 2007, RIEGL has owned and operated the proven DA42 MPP GeoStar, which has successfully completed all missions to date with the utmost satisfaction.
The increased requirements in recent years have now made it necessary to upgrade to the new DA62 MPP SurveyStar. The new DA62 MPP SurveyStar involved close collaboration between RIEGL and Diamond Aircraft in order to professionally integrate and efficiently utilise the entire RIEGL sensor and system portfolio.
Paul Kuntner, RIEGL manager special projects commented: “It was particularly important to us that the entire product portfolio of medium-sized RIEGL airborne laser scanners could be easily integrated into the multi-purpose nose pod.
The 20-inch hatch in the fuselage also enables the installation of all large RIEGL systems and the use of gyro-stabilised mounting platforms.
